More test sewing!

Took some time to do some test sewing between errands and appointments ^^;  I have plenty of stuff/ideas I’d like to make, just not enough arms at the moment ^^;/

Yoshi (one of our furry kids) was very curious what was going on when I was taking photos ^^; Had to stop him from coming too close — Normally keep cats far away from my dolls as cats tend to like to do naughty stuff like try to lick/chew on the wig or clothes ^^; Currently the cats are not allowed in our office where we have wires and materials around ^^;

Pants for Dollfie Dream

Having some time off this week, so found some time between hanging out with family to work on yet another commission for Danny’s dollfie dream daughters. Please note, this blouse was a test blouse I made a while back, the one Danny commissioned for is tweaked to fit better than my first try. ^^

Catching up

I think Danny was talking to me about a white blouse for his Dollfie dream girls possibly since last year(or early this year), and I only got to finishing it up recently and got it out to him ^^; I really wish I have clones too =_=;/ You can spy it on Saber chan in the 2nd last photo of his article :3 I took a few pix before packing it and really like some of them :)

I’m posting more progress of the gothloli outfit near the end so if you’re interested… Read more

Pattern making and test sewing

Working on a commission Gothloli outfit for Danny’s sweet Saber dollfie dream, have to make a pattern which means test sewings for my own Mirai chan ^^;

First make sketches of some design(s)… Get approval… Finalise some details… Certain details may change depending on the type of lace/trims used, but a basic idea is needed to start :)

 

 
The process usually = Start making a pattern (if it’s from scratch) with paper over half of the Dollfie’s body, draw some outlines, use tape to secure some area which needs to be tucked in etc. Cut it out, trace as a flat pattern with seam allowance, cut out the fabric pieces needed then sew an actual test item(or more)… Make some mistakes along the way (doh!), trash the mistakes, make corrections/adjustment and make a 2nd try…

Mirai goes Cherryblossom hunting!

Needed to run an errand today and since the weather forecast said it will rain on the weekend I decided to bring Mirai chan with me to do some cherryblossom hunting for a bit and I’m so glad I did!  Mirai looks very very moe here no?!

Warm up test sewing

Been rather busy these days, squeezed a little time to do some quick/warm up sewing ^^;


I saw a human size dress on a display (in different fabric) for a while now and wanted to make a doll sized version of it :D I don’t have a set pattern for this one unfortunately as I have to pleat and pin the “bra” part on the bosom of my Mirai to make sure they fit properly ^^;

Sweaters owed…

Even before my Mirai Yukino chan arrived end of 2008, me and Danny discussed a bit about what he would love for his Dollfie Dreams girlies to wear. Sometime last week, I finally got my butt in order and finished up a few things he waited for erm a while now (gomene!!! ^o^;;) Thankfully it reached him safely not burnt! LOL

I wish I can make the stuff as fast as the many ideas keep coming in lol! Anyone know how to cultivate a few extra pairs of sewing arms? ^^;

Anyhows, on with the rest of the pix ^^;
